Ciarán, formerly known as Bearface from BROCKHAMPTON, has released a new solo single titled ‘K-Bar’. The track signals the start of a new, more personal artistic phase after a period away from releasing music, and precedes an intimate New York performance.

The Irish artist will play Christ & St Stephen’s Church on 6 August. Ciarán described the return as an “extensive and intentional process”, thanking listeners who remained interested and expressing hope that the music will stay with them over time.
